Welcome to the Football Kit Blog

I'm a football fanatic. When I say football I mean what Americans call Soccer. I love all aspects of the game. I believe that the football/soccer uniform is the best uniform in all of sports. It's simple, practical, and is the most wearable for fans. Some folks won't wear soccer jerseys because they have advertising on them. While I consider myself an aesthetic purist, I realize that advertising is a part of the game, and while most of the best soccer jerseys have minimal to no advertising, certain advert-laden jerseys can still be quite beautiful. Case in point the ABN-AMRO advertising vertically aligned on the Ajax Amsterdam jersey. Besides, the reality of football economics tells us that the advertising helps to pay for the big-name players our teams bring in.

I have a little collection, but I'm form the U.S. and there aren't a lot of places to buy soccer shirts except online. So most of the shirts I have have been purchased on my travels.BTW, Argentina is one of the best leagues in the world, so entertaining. Also, you have two of the best shirts in the world, River & Boca. I also like the Velez shirt with the "V" on it. And of course the national team uniform is arguably the best in the world.
